This banquet of the Zhang family caused a great storm in Xinhe and other counties, and many topics at the banquet were talked about.

Especially the three poems written by Lu Zheng quickly became popular throughout Yangzhou. This year, the winter in Yangzhou was particularly cold. Lu Zheng's three poems made the Yangzhou literary world warm, and Lu Zheng's name became famous again.

In Qiugui Garden, Hua Hanjun was lying on the recliner in the warm chaise, smiling and knocking melon seeds. She has been very busy recently. She is now in charge of the entry and exit of tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the Zhang family.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and she handles the purchase of all the items in the inner house. The huge Zhang family, inside and outside, is really not able to transfer without her.

The money she passed through her every day was like flowing water, and she saved more and more money. In the second half of this year, she had saved more than she had saved in so many years.

With money and power on hand, Hua Hanjun felt very fulfilled and comfortable in her heart. She seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant things at home.

Anyway, the big house is now supported by her, and she can maintain a balance with the big house and the second house. Although Zhang Chengxi has become an official now, Mrs. Su is not the opponent of Hua Hanjun at all at home, and Cui Da's side is not completely the only one who follows Zhang Chengxi's lead.

Sometimes when Zhang Chengxi has something to ask Hua Hanjun to come here, which makes Hua Hanjun feel particularly fulfilled. In the past few days, Yangzhou has become cold and water dripping outside turns into ice. So Hua Hanjun just hides in the warm pavilion and stays every day.

Anyway, there is no shortage of people serving at home, and I have all the food I have. If I am too bored, I will ask a few girls to sing songs to relieve my boredom.

Or just call the show troupe to Zhang's house and invite the old lady and a group of wives to listen to a big show together. Anyway, she has the final say in the family now, so she can do whatever she wants.

"Second grandma, you don't know the situation at that time. Duanmu Wanrong's face turned into a pig's liver. Only Brother Zheng dared to say this. If anyone else had a woman like Duanmu Wanrong, he would have a lot of bones. In this regard, Brother Zheng is really amazing!" Cuihong and Hua Hanjun were talking.

Hua Hanjun was responsible for organizing Zhang Chengxi’s banquet outside and did not attend the banquet in person. Cuihong reported to her the wonderful things at the banquet today, and she laughed and was in a good mood.

"Only he can do this Lu Zheng, who kills thousands of swords. Poor Duanmu Wanrong, the first beauty in Yangzhou, has been completely wiped out by Lu Zheng. She may not be able to show up in Yangzhou again in the future!" Hua Hanjun said with a smile:

"By the way, what happened to you just mentioned about poetry, is Lu Zheng's poetry really that good?"

"Then you need to say it? It's not that I said it, but that Gui Liang, the chief of Guishan, personally, you didn't see the scene at that time. All the talents in the three counties on the scene were shocked by Zheng Ge'er, and they all opened their mouths and couldn't close them!" Cui Hong said with a romance. She had experienced the things that day in person, and now she felt very excited when she thought about it.

Although Lu Zheng is not from the Zhang family, Cuihong also felt very pleased and was in a good mood when she saw Lu Zheng slapping people from Dujiang County and Nanyou County in the face!

Hua Hanjun was in a good mood under her influence and said, "Cuihong, how did Lu Zheng learn? He never went to school, how could he write poetry so well? It would be fine if he was powerful in the Zhang family. There were not many scholars to study at home, but Lu Zheng is now famous in Yangzhou. He didn't even go to school, so why did he become a talented man in Yangzhou?"

Cuihong pondered for a moment and said, "Second grandma, what's strange about this? Brother Zheng is a genius, and he always says that. Think about it, he is so old, not to mention that he is good at writing poetry, but he is also good at business affairs. He can't take advantage of others even if he plots against him. What is this not a genius?

Now everyone says that Brother Zheng is a genius. Didn’t the second master say that Brother Zheng is a tough life and is destined to be a person in the pool. I think the second master is right!”

Hua Hanjun frowned slightly, concentrating on her mind, not knowing what she was thinking, and she felt like she was crazy.

"Second grandma, second grandma?" Cuihong saw that Hua Hanjun's expression was wrong, so she hurriedly leaned over and called her a few times. Hua Hanjun "Ah..." She came to her senses and her face turned slightly red, saying:

"Cuihong, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Brothers, girls must give you anything. You have to keep an eye on this matter yourself. It's all about the decent things of the Zhang family!"

Cuihong nodded seriously and glanced at Hua Hanjun with a strange look, thinking that the second grandma was really strange. The whole family knew the conflict between her and Lu Zheng. The two had fought for almost a year this year, especially the second master. Lu Zheng gave the second master many bad ideas, but the second grandma can only stay in the empty room now!

Logically speaking, the second grandma should hate Lu Zheng to the core. Even if she smiles on the surface or suffers all the hardships given by Lu Zheng in secret, she dare not deal with Lu Zheng on the surface, so she must have hated Lu Zheng in her bones.

But seeing how my second grandma looks now, she smiled. When she heard Lu Zheng’s popularity at the banquet, she seemed very happy, and Cuihong felt very strange!

"Second grandma, what should I do with Brother Zheng?" Cuihong said tentatively.

Hua Hanjun said, "What else can I do? The old lady said, treat everyone equally, no matter how much things the brothers get, he cannot lose a single point, and the Zhang family's decency cannot be lost."

"Besides, with this kid's current value, does he still lack the amount of things at home? If he is willing, he will buy a big house outside and enjoy the happiness of his life than he does in the Zhang family!"

Hua Hanjun sighed lightly and said, "I will go back to Yushan to deliver the things from my sister, and I will also have to deliver the things from my sister to my husband.

Once a year, I only hope that God has eyes, so that my life will be harder and harder. I only hope that my family can be harmonious, peaceful and safe for a long time.”

Cuihong pondered for a moment and said, "Grandma, it's so cold outside, and it's so cold that it's so ice-dropping on Yushan. You're not good at all. You have to suffer a lot to go to Yushan. If you don't let me go there on your behalf, okay?"

Hua Hanjun shook her head gently and said, "I'm having a hard time going up the mountain. My sister is still trapped on the mountain. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back during the Chinese New Year this year! She is guarding such a deserted mountain alone. How can I not go and see her?

Besides, if you ask God for sincerity, you will be effective. What's the matter if I don't go personally to ask you to take my place? I heard that it will clear up every day, so we will arrange to go to Yushan the day after tomorrow. I can also spend a few days with my sister on the mountain, otherwise I will never have time again after this day!"

Hua Hanjun's expression was very serious, Cuihong sighed lightly. She remembered that Hua Hanjun had never believed in gods or Buddhism before. In the past, when others worshiped gods, Hua Hanjun was just laughing at or sarcastic.

After she arrived at the Zhang family, she gave Qingxuguan a lot of money every year, but these were more of a means. Hua Hanjun used his ancestors to believe in God to please his ancestors. In addition, they all had benefits from forming an alliance with Liu Daopo on the mountain.

But now, especially this year, Hua Hanjun's attitude is completely different from before. Hua Hanjun personally went up the mountain to show her piety, which shows that in her heart, she no longer regards the gods as nothingness, but wants to visit her sincerely.

Hua Hanjun's transformation originated from her current experience. She has no children. She holds authority at home and controls a lot of money. She can't send her inner loss.

Her relationship with Jing's second brother was getting worse and worse. On the surface, they were husband and wife, but Jing's second brother didn't even go home very much now. Even if he came back, he would just click Mao, and then left anxiously. He saw all these Cuihongs.

Behind Hua Hanjun's superficial scenery is a deep crisis. Cuihong can feel the crisis. Where can Hua Hanjun herself not?

...

The discussion in Qiugui Garden is just a microcosm of the Zhang family's yards.

During this banquet held by Zhang Chengxi, all the yards of the Zhang family were talking about it, and their discussions could not avoid Lu Zheng, a key person.

Lu Zheng seems to be becoming more and more subtle in the Zhang family now. Not long ago, the old lady even made up her mind to get rid of Lu Zheng. Later, it was Zhang Chengxi who came forward to suppress it?

At that time, Zhang Chengxi also said that Lu Zheng's writings are actually not worth mentioning. This time, the Zhang family must shine in the scientific expedition in Xinhe County, and even if Lu Zheng ends up, he may have to return in a defeat.

It was precisely because of Zhang Chengxi's words that the old lady let it go, thinking that she hoped that her children and grandchildren could surpass Lu Zheng in studying and be proud.

However, at this banquet held by Zhang Chengxi, Lu Zheng showed his face again. When the talented man in Xinhe County was severely suppressed by the other party, Lu Zheng's appearance turned the tide and changed the entire situation.

Through this performance, Lu Zheng's reputation became even louder, and the Zhang family's Zhang Haoran, Zhang Tang, Zhang Zhen and other limelight were completely covered by Lu Zheng. What Zhang Chengxi said on Yushan is still heard, but is the truth really as Zhang Chengxi said?

Lu Zheng is so talented that he is not familiar with Shiwen? If Lu Zheng is so powerful, wouldn’t the Zhang family’s disciples compete with him this time bring shame on themselves?

In this context, it is worth pondering what the old lady's attitude is now. However, even if the old lady is really afraid of Lu Zheng, at this time, the end of the year is approaching, and even if Lu Zheng has to deal with it, it is impossible for him to choose such an opportunity.

Once a year, the Zhang family has begun to prepare for grand ancestor worship. The new year will be a new pattern. The old lady is now devoted to worshiping her ancestors.
